ALOT of close calls with this team against hippodwns that had fire fang and random flailers

My previous team that brought me to 280 was

Garchomp + yache
Dragon Claw
Earthquake
Fire Fang
Swords Dance

Raikou + Shuca
Thunderbolt
Shadowball
HP Ice 62 bp
Calm Mind

Bronzong + leftovers
Earthquake
Gyro Ball
Toxic
Explosion

This team had ALOT of problems with CB or Revenge Aerodactyls and Sash/Revenge Weaviles because they outsped my pokemon and put dents that would allow another fast pokemon to take out the weakend pokemon easily.
If you need proof of my win streak refer to the BT ranking hall for pics

Well, Nintendo confirmed (at least in Emerald's Frontier) the buildings have higher luck, just to make game more "challenging". I bet they've kept it and the same for Platinum's Battle Area.

... so yeah =/

WHAT?!?!
That Would explain it!...
One question, does that mean When the battle tower people use Double Team It's a even lower chance of hitting than normal? Oww...

Also, does Palmer only apper in single battle?

I'll be back with my team later...

"Open your mouth too wide, and your ears close."

Do you wish you could do things like in the anime?
Do you wish you could dodge behind a rock to avoid an attack?
Do you wish that you could use the arena to stop your opponents cold?
If you answered yes to any of those questions, the Pokemon Anime Style Battling League could be for you!

I haven't played Diamond in awhile but I can remember what I've done in the Battle Tower.

My team that got me the farthest was...
-Charizard
-Lucario
-Froslass
And my highest streak was 60 wins...yes I survived both of Palmer's fights especially where he used Heatran, Cresselia, and Regigigas :]

Yea it is. If you want to see pics go to the BT ranking hall somewhere in there should be a link to my photobucket with pics
I'm planning on trying a new team in Platinums BT since there alot of new moves I can make really good use of, like sucker punch on Umbreon.

Having both a Gyrados and Salamance can be really useful. They both use intimidate to reduce the opponents Attack, not one but two. Whats more, they both know Earthquake, and I use them to annihilate the opponent. This makes them both the perfect powerhouse.

I made it through 43 Consecutive bouts. It was pretty much a cake walk, easy battle point picking.

For single Battles, I got pretty far with this team.
Venasuar Female
Ability: Overgrow
Item: Black Sludge
Move Set: Sludge Bomb, Leech Seed, Giga Drain, and Earthquake.
I have Venasuar costumed to be constantly recovering, making it a good leech tank.
Milotic Male
Ability: Marvel Scale
Item: Leftovers
Moveset: Hydro Pump, Surf, Dragon Pulse, and Ice Beam.
I could've have a Milotice that knows recover, refresh or mirror coat to replace surf, but I never got around to it. It would've been better.
Salamance Female
Ability: Intimidate
Item: Muscle Band
Move set: Hydro Pump, Crunch, Dragon Claw, and Earthquake.
A perfect powerhouse, just like my Garchomp, Sceptile, Gyrados, Metagross, and Lucario.

I only made in through 42 consecutive bouts. It feels like my team isn't as strong as its supposed to be, because I keep encountering trainers that have pokemon that are stronger than normal, and coordinate their strategies pretty well, embarrassing of all, type disadvantage. Its pretty easy to win against Palmer (first fight) with this team.

I really like this team in the battle tower I came to the 118:th opponent but lost there but still its impresive. You may ask why i have swagger on my jolt and there is a simple answer to that. The opponent doesnt change their statused pokemons which makes swagger great in tuff situations. metagross explosion is also very handy because he often takes out 1 poke and can explode on the second or on a troublesome poke.

i was flying through a 39 win streak with my electivire, garchomp and lucario when all of a sudden. I had to fight THAT pokemon. the gliscor with guillotine and wide lens. personally, i don't believe that having something that is sent out last and keeps using a cheap move until it finishes off your entire team is a sign of skill - more like a sign of nintendo forcing you to waste 1/3 of your team on something with sturdy as an ability.
